    I'm with all you sport hating weirdos. Whatever about taking part in sport why would anyone watch it? Just hearing the drone of a crowd on the t.v is enough to send me to sleep.

    Also, whats with playing it on consoles? You can't just head out the door and battle aliens so fair enough but you can head out and play soccer.

    That's something I don't get either, those gaming freaks.

    Something about sandwiches


    I used to work with a bloke who'd sit at a table of about 10 blokes all talking about football, including myself. He didnt like any sports so insisted on telling us every single day how sh*t all sports were and how we shouldnt be interested in it, then he'd go on and tell me I shouldnt be drinking Coke coz its made by some abused peoplein South America and how its bad for me (all the while drinkin heavily, smoking weed and taking drugs). Then he'd make us all sit there while he told us about some mad obscure band from the guatamala, or how some politician in mongolia is hogging all the countrys paracetamol or some sh*te!!!

    He was some pr*ck!

    They're made for fat people and to have a laugh when your having a few cans with the lads.

    Mind you don't break a fingernail, that would be a major faux pas.

    Ah, a man after my own heart.

    He probably wants it for a transplant.

    I have no interest in sports such as soccer and gaa at all, and can't understand why so many people do.

    Why watch sports when you can watch porn?

    It's alright but do you not get bored after an hour? Twenty hours straight of fighting with fat twelve year old americans doesn't do it for me I'm afraid.

    Only fags care if they get powned or whatever it is. I might have been powned but I've seen girls naked and they weren't on the internet or through a keyhole or anything.

    You upgraded to strippers then?

    Cool.

    Next is Level 3.. hookers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 393 ✭✭Quiet you


    Strippers? Nope. The beach and a good pair of bonoculars. A large enough initial investment but with the price of stippers today you start saving after your eighth beeewb.

    The Ashes in Australia.

    Same as the World Cup in 1966.

    You can't get away from it.

    Unless you have no T.V. or Internet connections.

    You'll hear about it for the next ???????? many years


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,216 ✭✭✭Mrmoe


    It's like most things in life, you have to put the ground work in to get the best out of anything. As cheesy as it sounds it is true with almost anything that you do. I don't regret the crappy games of boring football as you will always have the gems such as the superlative skills of players like Messi or Zidane or matches like Istanbul 2005. These are the things that make you smile on a cold wet Monday morning.

    My brother is like that too. He has never played sports either. Well, he is very into downhill mountain biking if that counts! And going to the gym :/ But no sports as such!

    Kicking a ball around a field in shorts and acting like utter wusses falls under what I perceive as ******ry. Fighting (in most forms) is the closest thing you can get to manly sport.

    If I get a new game, I'll happily play it for the entire day, everyday, until its finished. If that means skipping meals and important errands, then so be it.

    Any other guys out there who don't conform?

    This guy, though his t-shirt has got an ironic reference to a sport.

    Well at least hipsters don't conform to widespread mindless tripe like fuseball, they have their own individualistic mindless tripe to be 'entertained' by.

    How do you figure that one out? Purposely avoiding mainstream trends and basic dignity surely means that they allow popular culture to shape their likes far more than someone who likes what they like and not just what as few others as possible like?

    Never bother watching sports myself except for the big games ,if cycling or boxing catches my eye though I do leave it on for a while.

    Its easy to chat to football heads when your not one yourself, you just have to say something like

    "Did you see that ludicrous display last night?" and

    "The thing with Arsenal is they always try to walk it in"






    *edit*

    People who don't allow embedding of youtube videos are pricks!
    LOL I'm always at this for the craic. Love the way on the site it had predicted what the supporter would say back to him :D

    This is just for all you freaks out there :D

    I'm not mad into watching sports, I can take it or leave it.

    I just feel that footballers are far too well paid for some of the shenanigans that take place on the pitch.
    It just seem that footballers are more celebs than sportsmen these days, prissy diva celebs at that.

    But my three kids - they are football freaks! In fact, any sport at all and they watch it.
    Now if the ladies beach volleyball was on I'd probably make time for that.

    There's absolutely NOTHING gay about MMA.

    Muscular, hairy, half naked men hugging each other in the missionary position is the ABSOLUTE PINNACLE of heterosexuality and anyone who says otherwise is clearly a FAG.

    Really? What about horse racing, the only job where you have an ambulance follow you round!
